Potential Violations

The Hartford Courant

According to Yahoo! reports Wednesday and Thursday:

*The relationship between Nate Miles, former student manager-turned-agent Josh Nochimson and UConn. The key is what UConn knew of the Miles-Nochimson relationship. As a alum and former manager, the NCAA considers Nochimson a representative of UConn's athletic interests and can have no involvement in recruiting. Five UConn coaches traded at least 1,565 calls and text messages with Nochimson, including 16 from Jim Calhoun.

*Phone records show UConn coaches may have exceeded limits on phone calls and text messages to Miles and those associated with him. One example is former assistant Tom Moore's 27 calls to Miles' guardian and a person Miles called his uncle and three to Miles in December 2006. The NCAA allows one call per month to a prospect or his family in a player's junior year of high school. Miles played as a sophomore in Toledo, Ohio, in the 2004-05 season, but not in 2005-06 as he bounced between three schools.

*UConn assistant Andre LaFleur had lengthy phone calls with Nochimson while he shadowed Ater Majok at a Kentucky tournament in April 2008. Majok committed to UConn and is sitting out this season.

POTENTIAL PENALTIES

There is no way to know as the investigation proceeds. Since Miles never played for UConn, it seems unlikely the team would have to forfeit victories. Depending on NCAA findings, penalties could include loss of scholarships, restrictions on recruiting calls, reduced paid recruiting visits and total recruiting days reduced.
